Comparative Burden of Metabolic Dysfunction in Lean NAFLD vs. Non-Lean NAFLD - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The current analysis highlights the weight-dependent nature of metabolic dysfunction in NAFLD. Lean subjects with NAFLD were significantly less metabolically unhealthy than were obese and overweight persons with NAFLD. An overreliance on metabolic dysfunction in defining fatty liver will be a flaw in potentially excluding previously characterized NAFLD.

Patient Preferences for Colorectal Cancer Screening Tests in Light of Lowering the Screening Age to 45 Years.

Our findings suggest that more than a third of people may want to do a FIT-fecal DNA every three years for their CRC screening. When only considering US MSTF tier 1 tests, three-fourths of people may prefer an annual FIT over colonoscopy. Further research examining CRC screening test preferences among broader populations is warranted to inform and enhance screening programs.

SMAD4 suppresses colitis-associated carcinoma through inhibition of CCL20/CCR6-mediated inflammation.

Regulation of mucosal inflammation is central to SMAD4 tumor suppressor function in the colon. A key downstream node in this regulation is suppression of epithelial CCL20 signaling to CCR6 in immune cells. Loss of SMAD4 in the colon epithelium increases CCL20 expression and chemoattraction of CCR6+ immune cells, contributing to greater susceptibility to colon cancer.

The Ephrin B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase is a Regulator of Proto-oncogene MYC and Molecular Programs Central to Barrett's Neoplasia.

The EphB2 signaling is frequently hyperactivated across the BE-EAC continuum. EphB2 is an upstream-regulator of MYC, and activation of EphB2-MYC axis likely precedes BE development. Targeting EphB2/MYC could be a promising therapeutic strategy for this often refractory and aggressive cancer.

Hepatocyte ß-Catenin Loss is Compensated by Insulin-mTORC1 Activation to Promote Liver Regeneration.

Insulin-mTORC1 activation compensates for ß-catenin loss to enable LR after PH. mTORC1 signaling in hepatocytes itself is critical to both homeostasis and LR and is only partially compensated by ß-catenin activation. Dual inhibition of ß-catenin and mTOR may have notable untoward hepatotoxic side effects.

Increased Expression of Interleukin-13 Receptor in Ileum Associated With Nonresponse to Adalimumab in Ileal Crohn's Disease.

Ileal histologic disease activity and IHC activation markers of chronic mucosal inflammation were not associated with 1-year ER. However, strong staining for IL-13 receptor in the ileum was associated with reduced odds of 1-year ER using adalimumab. Mucosal cellular disease profiles might pose an opportunity to guide treatment of CD.
